Coach Wade Phillips said Friday that Felix Jones looks like he will be fullspeed on Sunday against the Falcons. The running back has missed the last two games with a sprained PCL suffered against Carolina on Sept. 28.

Jones had been practicing with a brace until Thursday.

``I feel good about where Felix is,'' Phillips said. ``He looks fast. He's moved well so I think he'll get back into his roll, which could be quite a bit during the game.''

With Marion Barber also recovered from a quads injury, Sunday marks the first time since the New York Giants game on Sept. 20 with all three running backs in the lineup. Jones rushed for 212 yards and one touchdown on 21carries in the first three games.

That's one heck of a half full glass though. I'll take the explosive, electric 60 yard plays thank you

You and me both. Felix is a game changer.

You're not the only one.

Unless he's way better than they're letting on, I don't like this at all.

8 reps at the Combine

8 reps at the Combine

Who'da thunk the bench press was a key ingredient to toe and knee health.

Glass Joe will play Sunday, now that's a shocker... :laugh2: I hope he finishes the game.

[big dog cowboy]

I hope I am as happy about this news after the game.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Not the bogus 8 reps thing again...

I know. Did he even lift at the Combine?

 

[CATCH17]

Im so pumped for this game. I hope Felix does some big things Sunday.

Nope.

I realize why Felix gets hurt so much ...

It's like a car collision is four times worse at 50 mph than at 30 mph (or something like that ... dam I've already forgot my defensive driving course)...

Felix is so fast that he hits the ground harder than anybody, much less the collision when guys hit him ....

Doesn't apply.

Hopefully he doesn't hurt himself getting out of bed Sunday.
